Drawing while listening to podcasts is so funny, because like— This page from the latest chapter of the Hobbit comic adaptation was brought to you by the Magnus Archives!

I think I started drawing this page to MAG 166: The Worms, and binge-listened to a lot more gruesome horror after that; and in the end I created this bit of Martin-Blackwood-approved art:

#Bilbo Baggins is an avatar of The Lonely in the beginning #but he becomes influenced by the Eye (obviously) after he gets the One Ring #very Martin-Core I think #(note the lonely emptiness of Bag End in this chapter!)#(it’s like the TMA episode where Martin nearly gets lost in the Lonely and thinks it’s his ‘house’#and that’s facts #the hobbit #retelling the hobbit #the hobbit comic #not chapters #to be clear #I don’t remember EXACtly which things I listened to during which bits #but this page in particular I vividly remember being TMA #because i kept being like “’wow…tea…how MartinCore’’
